    Well if it takes a dictator to stop war and aggression, open up space travel and scientific discovery, and make everyone happy

    MAGA didn’t tell Israel to stay away from Sinwar, or Rafah, or Nasrallah. They didn’t hold a vigil or whatever it’s called upon learning of their fates. MAGA doesn’t stop Israel from rescuing people either. MAGA doesn’t leak plans, intentions, or even propaganda to Iran and tell Israel what it can and cannot target, while not saying the same to Iran.
    All Biden does is the global status quo. You sort of get protected if attacked, but nothing more. Nothing to stop such attacks.

    Two centuries of intermarriage? 200 years? Seriously? If you think everyone intermarried in the shtetl in 1824 I think we have another big issue to discuss than your subject or even the oddball math this implies. Amongst non-orthodox people, I didn’t even know anyone with intermarried parents until I reached college in another state. The idea of being “half Jewish” was still foreign even to me.
    You still have issues with kriuv regardless because everyones idea of “religion” is based upon what Hollywood puts out post 2015. All arguments and references are a cartoon version of being a xtian. Whatever you are offering to them is beyond alien and they cannot process.

    A lot of places will stop existing. We already lost Afghanistan and Bangladesh as we speak. Some bad things are going on in Myanmar (well they always are), Indonesia, a few places in Africa. Or we could talk about the frightening prospect of what’s going on in the civilized world, can you imagine if western europe keeps converting? They are already have more extremists than the middle east, but these countries actually have arms!
    Yes, it will be bad if Harris/Biden/Obama gets another term.

    I believe killing hostages is a crime, war crime, and against international laws and norms no matter what anyone believes.
    You have a small politically motivated group that will scream “Bibi”, while even the terrorists would’ve gone to the international courts if you did the same thing, instead of making it political nonsense.
    So, what are you going to do about it? Cry “Bibi”?

    Ex-CTLawyer – I speak from experience. That is exactly what they do/did. But that experience was in a very heavy openly christian values area, so maybe that is business as usual for them. I guess the lesson is don’t have any medical anything done by non-Jews in any non-Jewish area.

    I have the same query when I hear of Jews being kept or murdered in apartment buildings in Paris. No neighbor ever complains or calls the police. Ever.

    I do not know about Hamas ruling Gaza, but the moderate PLO faction headed by Abbas has a law against calling Jews. Penalty of Death. Correct me if I am wrong. But it would be illegal to call and be righteous. Being righteous is against the law.

    Hamas seems more honest with you or at least straightforward. Democrats keep giving me 300 reasons why Hamas does or should do what they do, most of them rarely even match reality. We’re at a point now where Gaza is the epicenter of women’s rights and even non-straight prime ministers of Ireland and other groups support them fully because of how progressive Hamas is in their fantasy world.

    gadolhatorah, you may need to search again, I just searched for “palestine” in google maps and it appeared with a description “Palestine, officially the State of Palestine, is a state in the Southern Levant region of West Asia.”
    So as per Google (who had an all hands on deck meeting when Trump was elected as their driving people to the polls backfired), you are incorrect. It exists.
    There are also a lot of things named Atlantis as well, so that’s no longer a myth too.

    jackk, that’s fantasy, there’s nothing secular about the united states, from its founding, to its laws, to its culture. What the leftist tell you about a so-called “separation” is misdefined by uneducated masses.

    jackk, the loses were pretty bad after the experiment to never go into gaza and let them govern themselves, but with free Jewish supplied utiltiies and healthcare of course.
    This rush to invent a new state, and put it inside Israel for whatever reason reminds me of the race for either Obama or Clinton when the media said they needed it for their “legacy”. Since we have a guy in DC who has been there since the 1970’s, it might be the same morbid motivation. Or maybe some satire writers have it right. If all it took was to kill and defile enough people to get what they wanted, maybe they should’ve tried it years earlier.

    Someone posts about a 3rd party, saying speak to them because they answer these questions frequently. But they’re in a certain group.

    Thread devolves into tired and old conspiracy theories, because the person was from group a, but not group’s b through z. Did the people warning us get indoctrinated themselves? Were they saved from being indoctrinated by the group? No. Let it go.

    modern: It is spelled Turkey. Why is it spelled Turkey? Because that is how we spell it. Turkey has the distinction of being the only nation on earth that wants the ability to dictate to other nations how its name is spelled. Not even China, Russia, or the Estados Unidos has this ability. It’s a surprising fact I did not know about until Turkey tried to do this. Along with illegally occupying parts of Syria, genocide against the Kurds and others, and using European and American courts to sue people they do not like. Their spelling is not a request I feel obligated to comply with.

    Biden relaxed enforcement of sanctions against Iran. Trade skyrocketed leading up to October. After October, Biden pondered (I don’t recall exactly) allowing oil sales from Iran for a short period.Or am I thinking of Venezula were it all goes to Iran anyway?
    WSJ has a list of just how many 10’s of billions Iran gained this year.

    You say there are sanctions. The media probably does too. But if someone like Trump lists this, and quotes the WSJ as he always does, the media and the left will claim he’s wrong and insane, and on and on we go,

    This is confusing because I don’t want to make everything seem hopeless. But Cleveland is in a place called “the rust belt”. In a country where 99% of the counties is classified as “unaffordable” for buying a house. And after inflation, 66-75% of people are a hard time making ends meet, and personal debt is skyrocketing. (every week we have a new article).
    Everyones situation is different, and everything, but I don’t know where this myth that money grows on trees in the US comes from. And Cleveland has muslims too.

Like Germany/Cologne on new years day, nothing? And cover it up that it didn’t happen to save everyones jobs? Will they continue to do nothing as the attacks continue to occur on their soil after this specific anti-western group is emboldened from their marches? How many Manchesters will England allow? France? It would be nice if it wasn’t put upon a small subset of Jews to physically save the world for the world via fighting.

    In school I remember getting very good (well perfect) scores in math and science. I had classmates that said the same thing, it’s useless and you’re never going to use it and received bad grades. During the events of 2020-2023+ those same people were in every corner of the internet, news, and society pretending to be experts. I learned that some things you do end up using and needing, at least for yourself.
    But then again, I am talking from a public school perspective and in a society that doesn’t follow any moral codes where people will shout all gossip and lies about things they don’t know as though they know. I hope if you don’t know something, you say you don’t know. That needs to be mainstreamed into American culture.

    A Speaker of the House who is above the law, and has been in DC since ’88 (where she was practically appointed). One could argue she is more powerful.
    And also, we have a Senate majority leader who has been in DC since 81, and a President who has been in DC since ’73.
    Maybe there could be a problem here.

    If you’re going to take a name of a specific ethnicity, you have to have heard of it somewhere and be sure it was Jewish right?

    Her taking the name proves one theory I have. No one in flyover country cares, and most people probably don’t even know it’s Jewish. So why did these Jewish actors of yesteryear feel the need to change their names other than to make themselves easier to recognize or pronounce possibly in some cases? Having a Jewish name obviously doesn’t do you harm.

    akuperma starts off a long monologue with “could have” “probably” etc. But, these could haves did happen. And the probably occurred that way. If the first sentence in a tl;dr rant is so divorced from reality, the rest is likely to be a waste of time. If you’re foundation is so completely off, you have nothing to stand on.
    I have been warning you people of what was to happen back in Feb/March of 2020. How many heeded the open and obvious result of what was to come? Obviously no one, because you all are still arguing over 1st step issues that were put to bed by April 2020 whilst the rest of the world has moved on. We have bigger issues today.
    And, more importantly, you are now arguing over vaccines for diseases that should not even exist. But obviously, we love the virus. America loves the virus.

    I live in a place where when 20% of the population was vaccinated, everyone stopped wearing masks. masks are a conspiracy from the government. Beaches are packed. Hospitals are full. Most of the states around here are in a state of emergency and they are calling up military doctors since there are no beds left at all. We’re about to have more cases than we ever have. There is no changes in offices, people drive to work in gridlock. They have conferences where people pack themselves in tightly in poorly ventilated rooms. Others argue if covid is real.
    This is the southern US. Americans love covid. We embrace it. It’s a sign of strength.

    Btw, this may sound sarcastic, but I assume you, it actually is not. It is not ridiculous. I remember in the summer of 2020 when the story was “when you feel comfortable” about going out, and not if it’s safe or smart, I thought that countries like China and New Zealand are going to have issues because even though they eradicate the virus, countries like mine where they love the virus will ruin all of that work.
    I understand the issue with Australia is shipping vessels have sick crews, and (at least last year) quarantine violators). In Australia they have “sovereign citizens” that defy all health mandates and fight with the police.

    Here is another example of how great the Jewish people are. We’re arguing over English class and what is good enough, when I see headlines like: “Only half of California students meet English standards…” or in Philadelphia, only 37% of kids can even read English properly.
    Furthermore in nyc where only 46% of 3rd through 8th graders can pass an English test, they’re concerned about Jewish kids learning it. How special!
    I notice that from coast to coast, so-called bilingual people are at a premium, typically getting paid more than non-bilingual people. Maybe English is overrated, otherwise, if we resolved this conversation and did place an emphasis on English, we would corner that market too.

    An naked mouth, shouting, spits as far as coughing in someones face. 20 something feet.

    People asked him why didn’t he apply for assistance, since this was a very very very democrat city/county. The hurdles they put in your way, they don’t give anybody anything.
    I’ve tried this myself too. If you want to get on a high horse and claim moral superiority, what has a Democrat ever done for the poor?

    Nothing. Try to find help from any of them if you ever need to, G-d forbid. You won’t find any. Probably not even pity.

    And I thought we all had our own organizations that fill the gap that government is never around for. If they did such a great job, would we need those? Or is that only Chassidics?

    I used to work in insurance. I had to read the vulgar or poorly written letters from hospital billing staff because they couldn’t figure out how to follow universal coding rules. I also learned that some bills sent to patients are not allowed and violate their contracts, or simply, you are not obligated to pay.
    Since then, I can’t go to a place without getting into an argument with these folks. Just this month I went to a doctor whose front office staff decided to bill me differently. I asked if they changed the rules, or if they just weren’t following the rules for 8 months. I was taken aside, where the woman ran down a pre-written list of excuses blaming everyone and everything, asking if I want to see the contract I signed (the one they never followed), and how “confusing” it is (I said repeatedly it is not “confusing”).
    At the end of all of this, it was never answered if they changed their procedures, or if they did it wrong for months. The answer is clear, but not to them, who blamed their new staff for something the odd staff did. But they are not Jews.
    I dread getting involved in the system in any capacity. I can go on for 300 pages.

    Why does a slow worker or bureaucracy equal safety? What they know now is what they will know next year. The technology has approved in the last 50 years. It is no longer 1970.

    But, I remember being on this board exactly one year ago yelling from every corner I can find that bad things are coming. On this board we had people claiming it was a flu. Why a flu? Why not any other random disease you have had? I hope some people at least heard me.

    DaasYochid talks about changing directives on mask usage. They never changed….in the rest of the world. This was never a debate and the science was settled over 1 year ago on this topic. The word is bigger than the CDC. Why did the CDC say no mask? Their website said you’re too stupid to know how to wear it, and that they don’t work, so give them to real doctors.
    At that moment, I ignored the CDC during the whole pandemic. There are some very smart people, who aren’t celebrities and don’t care about fame around the world that are doing a great job.
    Japan just approved the vaccine and will start tomorrow. They claim the Russians have a good one as well.

    Remember last spring? Half of the hospitals in most of America did not buy any additional equipment and ignored the coming threat. They were short of masks. Was there a mask shortage in Israel? Not to my understanding, they sourced around the world all that they could find.

    In other words, like they say out there in society, follow the evidence whereever it leads, be proactive not reactive, and follow winners and not losers.
